J. F. Monroe, thc Congress street grocer
implicated in the tobacco thieves case as the
purchaser of some of the tobacco stolen
from Messrs. Ellis, Young & Co., is still in
hiding. His family and relatives express
ignorance of his whereabouts, though it ia
very likely he communicates with his wife,
at least. All the goods belonging to Mr..
Monroe have been attached, and will be
sold next Tuesday to satisfy the executions
issued
Late last night young man called at the
MORNING NEWS counting room. and throw
ing a letter, which he said he had been
asked to bring TO the office, upon the counter,
abruptly turned and left before any in

on half sheet of noto paper, on both sides,
in pencil, and evidently was written under
strong feelings. 1t is given herewith YER
batim ct literatim.

TO conceal On Saturday last negroes, un-
known, come to my store, 221 Congress street,
and told me they wanted to sell Inc some to-
bocco, asked them how much they had and
where they got it. They said a firm on the bay
gave it to them and told him to sell
It for what they could get for it,
that they were obliged to have money
at once. | bought the tobacco, three caddies
and one box, for which paid SIC This is the
crime that have committed. I am not afraid
to be tried, but don't care to spend the sum-
mer in Jail. | know the bond win be heavy and
am unable to give it. The charge that any
Congress street grocer searched my store and
found his tobacco is false. | may have done
wrong. II so, am willing for those without

CLEAR WATER AGAIN.
Artcsiau Well Water Now Running
III the Mains.

"Ah, that is something like it, " remarked
Bay street merchant yesterday, about 2
p. m, as he drew glass of clear sparkling
water instead of the muddy liquid from tho
Savannah river that has done service for the
last fortnight Inquiry showed that Supt.
Miller had turned on nine of the
artesian wells at / 80 O'clock
in the afternoon and that all the
river water had been shut off. These nine
wells had been reborod, and the siuperin-
tendant says the flow is fully double that
previously obtained The water is clear and
sparkling When first drawn it presents a
milky white appearance made by the tiny
bubbles of air OF gas arising from the bot
tom, which are due to the fact that the
water is not exposed to the atmosphere at
all before drawn from the pipe, as the wolls
connect direct with the mains. Standing a
moment settles tho water thoroughly and it is
then ms clear as CRYSTAL, and entirely t0steless
The other wells are now being rebOred. and
Mr.. Miller is sanEuine that they will furnish
all the water that is needed for many years
to come. The tank is not used at all and
the machinery works 90 perfection, there
fore the Superintendent feels exceedingly
well pleased over the present situation.
Doubtless the city people are greatly
pleased, also over the Improvement in their
drinking water

Bonaventure TO be Saved from the En-
croachments Of the River.
Warsaw river has for years been making
steady inroads into the land at Bonaventure,
and lattery the erosion appears TO have
been going on more rapidly than before,
threatening if not checked to undermine
and carry into the river large area of land
The question of what was best TO do to stop
the encroachnnent of the river had been
under consideration by tue Evergreen Gene
tory Company for some time, but no feast
BILE plan was suggested TO remedy the trouble
until recently, when Maj. George W. Wylly
proposed to revct the river front near low
water mark with logs, ill in the space inter
vening between the logs and the bluff with
marsh mud and then terrace or slope Che
ground to the edge of the rovetment Maj
WILLY succeeded in protecting the bluff in
front of his house at Isle of Hope in that
way After examining into the mutter the
cemetery company decided to have the bluff
at Bonavonture protected i'll the same man
ner and yesterday orders were given to be
gin the work.

How the Gallant Drew of the Ocean
Queen Fought Mosquitoes.

How the Gallant Grew of the Ocean
Queen Fought Mosquitoes.
Thursday at 3 p. m. the Ocean Queen,
Com. Demere's new and handsome yacht
started down the river, en- route for the Isle
of Hope On board were the following
gentlemen: Com. Denere and Messrs.
Mack Bond, Julian Hartridge, o. Til
ton, A G. Guerard, Harry Cohen
anG S. X. Mayors. Passing down
the river the beautiful yacht was tho
cynosure of ali eyes, the windows of the
Bay street buildings being filed with scores
OF admirers of the new boat. Flags were
dipped by the shipping at the wharves, and
many compliments were waited across the
water to the satisfied commodore Passing
the Angler, Lieut. Carter fired two guns in
compliment and dipped his colors, which
We're acknowledged by the Ocean Queens
gallant master.
Al was happy till late in the afternoon.
At about $50 o'clock the yacht reached the
south channel The wind blew stitily, but
she held up well and SKINNED along like a
swallow on the wing. just after passing
st Augustine crock at the same high rate
of speed the rudder post broke. Instantly
the yacht turned toward the grassy shore,
and was driven high and dry on the marsh
grass before the accident could be rom
edied. Overheard was the word, but
hoaving and hauling did no good; she was
on the flats for Keeps
There was no help, however, and the crew
concluded to GRIN aud bear it. Mosquitoe's
came in by dozens, scores, hundreds and
thousands and the unhappy yachtsmen
had II nignt OF misery ana trouble Al
> O'Clock yesterday morning, the tide
bore them Off and they arrived at
the Isle Of Hope at o'clock happy
i'll the grim conciousness of being alive.
The woes of that night no pencil can depict
and the curtain is drawn charitably over it.

UOl for TYl1nN.

The thermometrical range of the mercury
for the past two weeks has lowered around
the nnctics as an average, with an occa-
sional jump to the tune of 1907. This was
the best possible advertisement for Tybee,
with its invigorating hrcczcs and delightful
sea bathing. Hence the sweltcring deni2eus
OF Savannah have turned out in large num-
bers to inhalc the pure oxygen and hydro
gen of the island, and right in the Ietrigerat-
ing surf Mr.. Hodges keeps a capital house
and can furnish any number of bathing
suits to visitors. He labors under one diff
en- " only. Tho accommodations should be
multiplied tenfold to lodge the crowds that
will pour in from the interior when the ex-
cursiOn schedules OF the railroads have been
adjusted
This is emphatically Savannahs summer
resort, close at hand, and fully equal to
Long Branch, Newport or any other Allan
tic watering place We bespeak for Mr..
Hodges generous patronage.
